Features

What PAN21 Counter tracks

Lean, privacy-friendly and free of bloat. We count what matters — and nothing else.

📊 Pageviews

Every page view is counted — bots and crawlers are filtered out automatically, and rapid repeat views (within 30 seconds) count once.

👤 Unique visitors

Distinct visitors per day, identified by an anonymous IP hash. No personal data.

📈 30-day history

A public stats page with a bar chart of the last 30 days — pageviews and unique visitors.

🔢 All-time totals

Cumulative pageviews since you added the counter, right in the badge — total unique visitors on your stats page.

🎨 3 badge designs

Dark for the top 10, light for the top 100, compact from rank 101 — chosen automatically by your rank in the top list.

No cookies, no fingerprinting. IP addresses are only ever stored as daily rotating hashes.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Is the visitor counter really free? ▾

Yes — completely free, with no hidden costs. PAN21 Counter is a free service from the PAN21 network. There's no subscription and no credit card required. If you want more, the optional Plus upgrade adds a 365-day history and weekly email reports.

Do I need a cookie banner for the counter? ▾

No. PAN21 Counter sets no cookies and doesn't use browser fingerprinting. We only store an anonymous daily hash of the IP address to recognize unique visitors. It contains no personal data and doesn't require cookie consent.

Which websites can I add the counter to? ▾

Any site where you can add JavaScript: plain HTML pages, WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Jimdo, TYPO3, Joomla, static sites, GitHub Pages, Vercel, Netlify and many more.

How are bots filtered out? ▾

We check the user agent of every request and filter out known crawlers, search engine bots and automated tools. Only real browser visits are counted.

Can I register more than one website? ▾

Yes. Each website gets its own counter ID and embed code. Just fill in the form again.

What is a "unique visitor"? ▾

A unique visitor is someone who visits your site for the first time on a given day. If the same person comes back several times that day, it counts as one unique visitor but several pageviews.

Is there an API? ▾

Yes. You can fetch your statistics as JSON from https://www.pan21counter.de/api/stats-public?id=YOUR-ID — for your own integrations, dashboards or displays.
